U.S. Museum of Tolerance Buys Letter Written by British Philosopher Before WWII Arguing Against War with Nazi Germany

FSWC Reports:

From the Associated Press via ynetnews.com:

The Museum of Tolerance
has acquired a 1937 letter written by Bertrand Russell in which the
Nobel Prize-winning philosopher says if the Nazi army invades his native
England the British should invite Adolf Hitler
to dinner rather than fight.

The museum, part of the
Simon Wiesenthal Center, announced Wednesday that it paid $4,000 for the
letter at an auction in England last month.
